The Hoir Presump.lve to tho Throne Of
England. FN
LONDON, March 20 Some Of the society
papers have limited at a scandal In high
London society which affected directly
one Of the members OF tho royal family.
Every .one here understands and talks
freely about what none Of the English
papers have ventured to more than hint
at. The story, stripped OF all its improba.
bic featured, relateato temporary separa.
ton between Lord Randolph Churchill
and his wife. Is question whether this
separation will become permanent or
not. Lord Randolph Churchill resigned
from the Cabinet on account OF this
domeetic difference. II is Understood
when his wife goes 10 New York, as she
now intends to do within few weeks,
that he will return to London, and that q
place will again be made for him In the
Administration. It lis said here that Lord
Randolph Churchill Is very vain, irrita.
BILE and jealous individual, and that he
went of In 1T Of rage 10 the Continent
on account Of his having discovered that
Prince Edward Of Wales, the eldest son
Of the Prince OF Walea, WAS infatuated
with Lady Churchill, and that his atten.
tions TO her had given rise 10 much talk.
The young Prince, who is regarded as
the next English King, since every ono
believes that the Queen will outlive tho
Prince Of Wales, is a. youth OF very feeble
mind and iB the constant butt Of all the
Radical papers. He Is only three and
twenty and ia such typical dude in his
manners and dress That he Is known
among Radical writer's as "collars and
cuffs" The young Prince WAS ordered
Oft to Malta Just before Lord Randolph
Churchill's departure. He was detached
from the Prince Of Wales own regiment,
the Tenth Hussars, and ordered to Join
the sixtieth Ritleu. lie left last week
under the guardianship Of Captain Gre.
vile and one other equerry. This is the
first time. 1t is said, that tho heir pre-
sumptive to the throne has been sent of
on foreign duty. The young msn has
evidently been put through u severe
course OF discipline. He has been lectured
by his grandmother, the Q1san, and by
his father and mother. Tho malady OF
the young Prince is regarded simply as a
severe case OF "cali love-
Lady Randolph Churchill ia blamed by
no one beyond the point that she should
perhaps have snubbed the young man
before he had made such public exhibit
ton Of his sentiments. She evidently was
restrained by her regard for his father and
mother. The proof that there is not the
blame to BIO attached 10 Lady
Randolph 10 shown in the very gracious
reception given to her by the Queen at the
last dtawing.room aud by the very marked
attentions which have been paid to her
by the Prince and Princess of Wales since
LORD Raudolph's departure. Every one
blamss the latter for bis absurd Jealousy,
and charges his foolish departure to the
Continent to his excesa;ve vanity and IT.
ritHoility. lie is the butt OF number Of
jokes aince it has been discovered that he
has been Guaranteed in small place in
Italy Tor the last month, owing to his
having passed through rural district in
Sicily which was Infected with cholera.
